[Solved] Can't install VirtualBox 4.3.14 Networking on Win7

OS: Windows 7 SP1 x86
VB: VirtualBox-4.3.14-95030-Win
AV: Kaspersky Internet Security 2013

I can't install the Networking feature. If I disable it in the installer, the installation works fine but if I try to install it, the installer copies everything (even the shortcuts are created on the desktop) but then the installer starts to roll back everything. I tried installing it with Kaspersky closed but it still gives me an error. I tried to run the installation with Admin privileges and "told" Kaspersky that it is a harmless piece of software but still no luck.

I attached:
setupapi.app.log
setupapi.dev.log
VBoxInstallLog.txt

I tried other versions:
VirtualBox 4.3.12 and VirtualBox 4.2.26 don't work but VirtualBox 4.3.10 works perfectly!

I tried to download and install VirtualBox 4.3.16. I got the same error. I enabled logging and analyzed the log by myself. I found the error code:

Code: Select all

0x8004a029
I googled it and found this:

So I deleted:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\MaxNumFilters 
restarted my computer and installed VBox without any issues.

Problem solved. :)

Hey, great detective work! And thanks for sharing your findings! I'm sure other users will benefit from this. One little thing; could you change the title of the original post to "[SOLVED] Can't..." so it's easier to spot?

It seems that a moderator already changed the title for me but I'll try to remember it for the next time.
